NEW COMMERCIAL INSPECTION PROCEDURES

Shawn Bergeron Technical Services will no longer be performing commercial construction inspections for the Town of Bartlett.  The Board of Selectmen have made arrangements for the State Fire Marshal’s Office to do the commercial building inspections.  The new procedure is as follows:

COMMERCIAL INSPECTION PROCEDURES

All commercial construction will now be inspected by the NH State Fire Marshal’s Office. Once your building permit has been approved by the town, you will then need to apply to the State Fire Marshal’s Office (SFMO) for permits before any construction may begin.

This is the procedure you will need to follow:

1. Apply to the Selectmen’s office for a commercial building permit.

2. Once approved, you will be mailed your permit with an approval letter which must be presented to the Fire Marshal’s Office in order for them to proceed with their review and inspection.

3. The Fire Marshal’s office works off of an online portal for permitting, plan review, inspections, and documentation. The portal is a completely web-based portal called MyGov. The portal may be found one of two ways:

• Through the State Building Permit Program from the Division of Fire Safety Website (https://www.firemarshal.dos.nh.gov/):

State Building Permit Program | NH Division of Fire Safety

OR

• Through the MyGov SFMO Online Portal:

State of New Hampshire Division of Fire Safety | Public Portal (mygov.us)

4. Once the SFMO receives a permit application, it will go under a plan review and if the reviewer finds that it meets all applicable codes, an invoice will be issued to the applicant and then a permit to start construction. All inspections and documents can be viewed by the applicant and any other contact that they wish to add onto their project (contractor or super). Inspections are recorded within the system with any notes the inspector may add. Once all inspections have been completed and a final inspection conducted, a final inspection letter or certificate of occupancy may be issued.

5. After construction is complete and you have received your final inspection letter or certificate of occupancy from the SFMO, YOU STILL MUST APPLY TO THE TOWN FOR A PERMIT TO OCCUPY before you can be open to the public for anything that was included in the building permit.

Permits of Assembly and Tent Inspections will be handled through the Selectmen’s Office.  If you require one of these inspections, please contact the Selectmen’s Office and we will direct you from there.  Please plan ahead so that the inspector can be scheduled in a timely manner.
